K.I.S.S.

I guess that when some people initially read the title of this article 'K.I.S.S.' they'll automatically think that I'm going to be dealing with the romantic side of life.
Well, if you thought that my friend, you'd be dead wrong.
The letters 'K.I.S.S.' are an acronym for 'Keep It Simple Stupid' which is a well-known saying which has been around for a long time.
Actually, now that I reflect on it, my mentor Earl Nightingale produced a very successful training program some years ago in conjunction with well-known and indeed respected Sales Trainer Fred Herman titled 'K.I.S.S.' which stood for 'Keep It Simple Salesmen'.
Hopefully by now my valued readers are beginning to get the gist of what this article is all about, and that is the power of simplicity.
Some people do indeed have a tendency to always try to complicate everything in their lives, which is not good, believe me.
I've been in the business of inspiring and motivating people for quite a long time now through lectures and seminars which I have facilitated all over the world, through my writings, radio and T.V.
Now, I honestly believe that one of the reasons why I've been so successful at what I do, is that I put ideas and concepts in a simple, understandable format which all can fully comprehend.
There are unfortunately many, many lecturers and teachers who do indeed possess a whole lot of excellent information.
In fact, many of them are quite brilliant. And yet these brilliant, knowledgeable people are not too successful when it comes to imparting their knowledge to others simply because they make everything sound so very complicated, thus it actually turns people off.
I know that just about everyone knows that the late Steve Jobs was a brilliant person, an innovator extraordinaire.
Jobs once said this about simplicity. He said "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". Oh, how true that is.
Christianity, as all know, is one of the major religions of the world, whose members are supposed to be following the teachings of Jesus, the master teacher.
I believe that one of the reasons why Jesus was such a good teacher was because of the simplicity of his teaching.
He told stories, parables to illustrate the point he was making, which all could indeed fully comprehend.
So my friend, in conclusion, why don't you remember today's most important lesson, and then do your utmost to simplify rather than complicate your life.
